about

All the "Home Sessions (Raw Singles)" series of recordings follow the parameters of making live music. Each song is performed and recorded live, in one take. Sometimes other musicians join in on the song, sometimes Daniel plays and sings alone. Either way, there is only a single track, no doubling up, no layering.

My beautiful Grandma Gove died in June, 2015. She was 99, and lived a full life until the end. I recorded this song in Munich, Germany while she was on her deathbed back in Ohio, with the fear that I might not see her alive again. Fortunately I was able to see her before she passed away, and the last night she was alive her children, grand-children, and great-grand children gathered around her bed and sang the songs we would often sing with her when we were all younger.

This song describes some of the last days of her life, as she slowly moved from this world to the next, and her love for for my Grandpa.

Eleaner Jane Gove September 22, 1915-June 20, 2015

lyrics

Your memory is fading, fading away into the night, the night of day
And there's nobody here, but then they come
In from the cold, and then they're gone
And little by little I guess I'm coming home

Your memory is fading, fading away into the night, the night of day
They say Spring is here and it makes them glad
But the only thing I feel is sad, to try to remember the last Spring we had
I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Your memory is fading, fading away into the night, the night of day
And everyone here says they're a friend
But all of their faces seem to grow dim
I guess that it ends about how it begins
I'm coming home, I'm coming home


Your memory is fading, fading away into the night, the night of day
And now you are here and you are mine
And I wanna hold you to the end of time
I always love it how you ease my mind
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
